California’s forests are the watersheds for the rivers and dams that provide clean water for most of the states residents. And are the major sources of fresh air for everyone. Since 2007, our forest have been the scenes of devastating fires throughout the state due to the build up of fuel as a result of decades-long fire suppression, insects and disease. As a result, human intervention is critical for forest recovery.
Rangers are requesting huge numbers of seedlings to replace the forests. Volunteers are sought to go to Placerville March through and April where the Federal Forest Service has a nursery that supplies all of the state’s forests. Marin ReLeaf is coordinating volunteers from the Bay Area to assist rangers in planting seeds. Volunteers from TreePeople of Southern California, are working in the field setting out the seedlings in forest throughout the state.
In 2009, in one six-hour period over 101-thousand Bishop Pine seeds were planted with only a group of 20 persons. These trees went to Los Padres National Forest mid-spring 2010. Scheduled for spring of 2011 forests around Shasta Mountain are to receive the 33,000 Giant Douglas-fir seedlings that were planted this year. Join us next spring. Make it a car-trip and stay for a mountain festival of one kind or another in the vicinity of Placerville.
